Pretty cool stuff... :salude

If I'm remembering correctly, a reproduction of that came with the Layla CD box set in the early 1990s.
It's amazing how many times that album has been remixed. The version of the song "Layla" that I have, which I believe is from the early 1990s remaster (unless it was updated automatically by the friendly robots at Amazon Prime Music) just jumps out of my Avantone Mix Cubes as if to say, "Hi, Mr. Clapton, I'll be putting lots of money into your pockets with this song!" I'll bet that mix was at least checked on a pair of the old Auratone "horrortone" speakers studios used to use to check car stereo mixes, if not largely mixed on them.
It's amazing to me, the number of guitar parts, that are actually going on simultaneously in that song... If you listen close, you can hear them all... Any live performance, is a huge compromise to the original studio recording...
I agree. And to my ear, the whole album is mixed that way. There's an incredible amount going on in the jam part of "Keep on Growing," and you can follow each instrument easily.
Tom Dowd worked with The Manhattan Project in 1943.
Some of you know what that was without a google search.

What exactly is a Box guitar?
Just in case anybody here hasn't seen it, "Tom Dowd & The Language of Music" is a great documentary. I watched it on cable, ended up buying the DVD years ago. Lent it out countless times. People that normally wouldn't be interested in such a documentary have really enjoyed it.................
This thread at an Allman Brothers forum posits that it's the acoustic guitar. Perhaps box=isolation booth?
